Lyrics
AMERICAN DREAM
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
They be talking equality
But they don't mean it for people like me
They say opportunity
But I don't see none in my streets
Statistically they say I'll be in a penitentiary
So I'ma get on that college track
And go to a Ivy League
I know that sounds impossible but I am possibilities
I'ma jump through all the obstacles and master geometry
I wrote that code, that C plus, plus
Robot autonomy
Yeah, they call me a dreamer
But now I'm at Georgetown University
The American Dream
The American Dream
The American Dream
The American Dream
Everyone agrees that future is technology
And I want to be up to speed
So give me that education I need
Just give me that STEM, that STEAM
Teach me the skills that I will need
To unlock all the roadblocks and get that master's degree
And fill the workforce vacancy
And introduce brand new industries
Because the jobs of the future
Are gonna come from someone just like me
I wrote that code, that C plus, plus
Robot autonomy
Yeah, they call me a dreamer
But now I'm going to Brown University
The American Dream
The American Dream
The American Dream
The American Dream
